General[edit]

The Courier is used to deliver items to players on the field of battle and generates passive gold for its owner. Each player has their own personal courier. The courier is invulnerable in its home fountain. When killed, any items it was carrying will be inaccessible until it respawns. It will also not grant passive GPM to its owner during this time.
